The Microsoft FUD Campaign vs. the Customer

| The history at IBM is one reason why I am encouraged about Sun,
| encouraged about Linux, and predict nothing but trouble for Microsoft.

Microsoft Patent Threat Against Linux Futile, Risky
,----[ Quote ]
| "An awful lot of customers are going to Microsoft and saying 'we need
| you to interoperate more easily with our Linux server.' They're
| thinking if they've got one Linux server, then how long is Microsoft
| going to keep the Windows servers there," Mr. D'Aprano said.
| "People are thinking about paying thousands of dollars to migrate
| to Vista with the costs of retraining, software licenses, hardware
| updates being incredibly significant. This explains why there's
| been so little interest in upgrading to Vista."

Open letter to Novell: Release the patent numbers!
,----[ Quote ]
| I call on you, Novell, to tell the community which patents Microsoft
| thinks are infringed by the GNU/Linux operating system. You know
| the patent numbers. Microsoft gave them to you. Now release them
| so we all can publicly prove what you claim: That GNU/Linux
| infringes no Microsoft patents. If you do, then you may gain back
| some of the credibility in the community that you lost when you
| signed the cross-license deal with Microsoft last year.
